Psychiatrist charged with endangerment

From the Fayette County Review

A Memphis psychiatrist was arrested by Fayette County sheriff’s deputies Friday and charged with reckless endangerment and illegal possession of a firearm.

Dr. Mark Luttrell, 47, of 415 W. Key Road in the Fisherville community was released on an appearance bond Saturday morning. He was scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Fayette County General Sessions Court.

Ray Garcia, public information officer for the sheriff’s office, said that on Dec. 5, deputies received a call that there was a vehicle partially in the roadway in the 200 block of Key Road. They found the vehicle unlocked with the keys in it, along with two loaded weapons—a .45-caliber pistol and a .22-caliber revolver—and some armor-piercing rifle ammunition.

When the deputies determined that the vehicle was registered to Luttrell, Garcia said they attempted to make contact with him at the Key Road address listed on the registration. The vehicle was towed to Hannah’s.

Friday morning, he said, Luttrell came to the sheriff’s office, where he was arrested on the charges. That afternoon, deputies went to his residence with a search warrant issued by General Sessions Judge Mike Whitaker.

Garcia said the case is still under investigation.
